Crafted in collaboration with Napa’s celebrated Matthiasson winery, Leopold Bros Sweet Wermut is an opulent and indulgent vermouth based on historical tradition. Wermut, meaning “wormwood” in German, is the etymologic origin of “vermouth,” and while grand wormwood is a legally required ingredient in all EU-certified vermouths, the US highly regulates its use, making it a rare and notable botanical in this expression. Aromatized with a careful selection of botanicals and fortified using Leopold Bros’ own peach and pear eaux-de-vie, this vermouth remembers to let the wine at its foundation shine and is as enjoyable over ice as it is mixed into your next Manhattan or Negroni.
